No air by Jordin Sparks
No air by Jordin Sparks featuring Chris Brown is a song that is beautiful to listen to. To me the words are intoxicating in the form of there meaning and to most that makes no sense what so ever. This song is like listening to water gushing from …

Live At The Regal by B.B. King

Kings Of Leon-Charmer (song)
I recently took the time to take some time to listen to a few songs by the band Kings of Leon and there were some songs that I didn’t like and ones that I really liked. One of the songs that came up as a neutral choice was the …
The Sylistics “Original Debut Album”
I am not a fan of soul music, but the reason I know of the music group “The Stylistics” is because they are one of my father’s favourite music groups and he would play their music over the years.
A couple years ago, one of my father’s good friends gave …

Doctor Who Series 1 Sondtrack (2005)

The Who - The Who Sell Out (Side II)
Overview —“ Side II of The Who Sell Out isn’t extremely different from side I, or at least I don’t think so, and it just isn’t quite as good. This isn’t to say that side II isn’t good though, some tracks on here still have some great parts to …
Metallica - Metal Militia (Song)
Overview —“ Metal Militia, the final track on Metallica’s debut record, Kill —˜Em All, is a track that I will admit that I always never really liked very much. It also wasn’t just Metal Militia wasn’t quite as good as some of the other songs on Kill —˜Em All, …
Kanye West
If this is graduation it’s from a 2 year school. The sampling and tired metaphors from kanye west is old. Rap is about bravado but kanye is that times ten. He not only tell u he’s the best at rapping every other sentence he also mentions he’s the best …
The Beatles - I’m Looking Through You (Song)

The Avett Brothers
When I stepped out of the warm summer night into the Pearl Street Nightclub in the quaint village of Northampton, Massachusetts, my expectations were set at an unattainable height, as if I were entering the gates of Max Yasgur’s farm in August of ‘69. I was, however, not entering …
Rammstein (band)
I first heard of the German rock band Rammstein when I had just left high school and had begun to crave metal and explore some of the heavier genres of rock music. Someone had introduced me to the music of Rammstein, which I became even more interested in hearing …
Wild Ones (feat Sia) -Flo Rida (Single)
Right now, this is my favorite dance song. This song features the words and melody of a slower song at points but then when you add in Flo Rida the different points in the song blend to create a great dance and party song. My favorite line is “I …
Slayer - Disciple (Song)
Disciple is a song by Slayer which starts out with a somewhat slow rhythm in comparison to an average Slayer song to be honest. When Araya first came in I thought his vocal tone was going to be absolutely terrible, and although it seems slightly bad on this track, …

Stay by Sugarland is a song that is sad because it talks about how this guy is playing two women at once. He is married but he has this other woman as his lover. The song mainly talks about how his lover wants him for herself and she doesn’t …
Broken Strings by James Morrison song
This is one of the songs that broke my heart. Not anyone may have experienced what the writer must have felt. But I do. I really do. Maybe that’s the reason why it appealed to me that much.
Technically judging, the tune is not that sad enough to mean what …
Megadeth - Skin O’ My Teeth (Music Video)

Ocean Avenue (Album by Yellowcard)
Ocean Avenue is Yellowcard’s most successful album.

Metallica - Seek And Destroy (Song)

Cannibal Corpse
Cannibal Corpse is a band in the ‘Death Metal’ genre. However I personally wouldn’t call them a band at all. I physically and mentally DESPISE them in any ways possible, and anyone who considers grunting an art form of singing seriously needs to open their eyes into the real …

Awolnation (electronic rock band)

In case …
Animal Collective - Infant Dressing Table (Song)
Infant Dressing Table is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their fourth release, Here Comes The Indian. The first thing I should mention about Infant Dressing Table is that it certainly takes its time to establish any type of rhythm. For the first few minutes of this …
Hillbilly Deluxe by Brooks and Dunn
The song Hillbilly Deluxe by Brooks and Dunn reminds me of something sung by at true red neck from the backwoods. It has a certain swinging beat that will drive you to stomp your foot or tap you finger to the restless beat. This type of music has a …

CD Louis Armstrong 16 Most Requested Songs
16 Most Requested Songs is a jazz CD featuring Louis Armstrong on trumpet and vocals. The music is medium-tempo, fast enough to dance to but not overly exciting. Louis Armstrong has a somewhat rough voice for a singer but I enjoy listening to him sing- it sounds …
Happy Day by Kim Walker: Music
The song started out with a fast beat of the drum as Kim Walker started to sing the introduction of the song Happy Day. I was really impressed on the way her voice was. Not that high toned pitch but her voice was more of an alto to soprano. …
Cannibal Corpse - Force Fed Broken Glass (song)
“Force Fed Broken Glass” is quite possibly my favorite Cannibal Corpse song off their 1994 album “The Bleeding”. This happens to be the 9th track on the album which is the second to last song. It’s kind of weird that they put such a good song towards the end …
Muse - Darkshines (Song)
Darkshines is a track by Muse which appears on Origin Of Symmetry. Right from the introduction of the song, Darkshines has a very interesting tone not just because of the guitar lead which is playing but also the bass line which is something I recommend paying attention to here. …
The Rolling Stones - Lady Jane (Song)

Nine Inch Nails - Discipline (Song)
Discipline is a track by Nine Inch Nails which appears on The Slip. Discipline opens up with a very drum beat and then gives way to some synthesizers which obviously add that industrial and electronic feel which I typically associate with Nine Inch Nails. The vocal melody to Discipline …
Bitches Brew by Miles Davis (1970 jazz fusion album)
Plenty of people who aren’t even huge jazz fans can find a lot to love in the near-supernatural, vibrantly dense trance of Miles Davis’ classic “Bitches Brew.” Like many new to Davis’ extensive catalog, I had it recommended to me as a first step, and got into it pretty …
